Chapter 375
Chapter 375 Snow Pear Dessert, the Biggest Difference
At this moment, Wei Yuejiao had basically calmed down. Judging from Concubine Dong’s appearance, she knew that what she had done just now had been too extreme, and it would inevitably cause the Madam Dowager’s displeasure.
Upon her arrival at Tranquility Courtyard, she did not go to see the Madam Dowager first, but instead, Wei Yuewu was the first to see the Madam Dowager. This alone would have irritated the Madam Dowager.
Concubine Dong had previously reminded her that after they returned to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, the Madam Dowager must be their first priority. Otherwise, the Madam Dowager would definitely be unhappy and would not agree to promote Concubine Dong to be the position of Marquise Hua Yang.
“Concubine, you kneel there first. I’ll go take a look!” Hearing Concubine Dong’s reminder, Wei Yuejiao came to her senses. After thinking for a while, she said to Concubine Dong and then walked toward the Madam Dowager’s main apartment.
When she came to the door, an old maidservant stopped her. “Third Young Lady, please wait for a minute. Allow me to go in and report to the Madam Dowager!”
Looking at the faint figure of Wei Yuewu behind the curtain, and then realizing that she was stopped by an ordinary old maidservant, Wei Yuejiao was ashamed and angry, but she also realized that she had really made a mistake just now. Concubine repeatedly warned her not to be impatient and anxious, but she had forgotten about this the minute she saw Concubine Dong’s miserable state. Therefore, she had irritated the Madam Dowager.
“Yes, please report to Grandmother!” At this time, Wei Yuejiao did not dare to make any more trouble. She stood to the side and swallowed her anger, waiting for the old maidservant to go in and report.
Under the tree, Concubine Dong’s expression became increasingly gloomier, and hatred flashed in her eyes. Some things strangely crossed the boundaries of time and space. At that time, she was also punished because of Qin Xinrui. She knelt at the same spot as she watched that bitch Qin Xinrui enter the Madam Dowager’s room.
All the servants in the courtyard were laughing at her, ridiculing her for being inferior to Qin Xinrui in all aspects. Not only was she not as pretty as Qin Xinrui, but she also did not receive the same love as Qin Xinrui. Even when she gave birth to Lord Marquis’ eldest daughter, her daughter was a concubine-born daughter, and she would not be able to marry into a big family as the main wife when she grew up…
Those words pierced her heart like needles. At that time, she secretly vowed in her heart that one day, she would climb over the head of that slut, Qin Xinrui, and live a better life than her!
Now, her hope was about to be realized. She only needed a bit more time. She must endure this… She could wait…
When this little slut died miserably like her slutty mother, she could become the honorable and dignified Marquise Hua Yang. At that time, no matter how fierce this old fart was, she could not treat herself so casually!
Now, she had to endure! Not only she, but Yuejiao also must endure this hardship! They had to curry favor with that old fart too.
They must bide their time, and the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would soon be theirs…
Concubine Dong called Nanny Dong, who was standing on the side, and whispered something to her. Nanny Dong nodded and turned toward Wei Yuejiao.
Wei Yuejiao had been waiting outside for a long time. When she heard the sounds of laughter coming from inside, her heart became more and more resentful. The expression on her face was somewhat stiff. The evil fire in her heart began to surge up again.
Nanny Dong came over, lowered her voice, and conveyed Concubine Dong’s meaning to Wei Yuejiao. “Third Young Lady, Concubine Dong told you not to be angry. You must be calm and patient. Just now, Concubine had angered the Madam Dowager because of some things. The Madam Dowager is now angry. If you provoke the Madam Dowager again, Concubine will suffer again!”
“So, not only can you not be angry at this moment, but you also have to curry favor with the Madam Dowager. You must do better than the Sixth Young Lady. Only in this way can the Madam Dowager forgive Concubine Dong for your sake.”
“Tell Concubine, I understand!” Wei Yuejiao gritted her teeth and endured the anger in her heart. At this time, she could not be angry. Just like what Concubine Dong said, she had to win Grandmother’s heart.
Seeing that Wei Yuejiao had obeyed the instruction, Nanny Dong silently retreated.
At this time, the door curtain was lifted. The old maidservant, who had gone in to report, came out. She glanced at Wei Yuejiao and said reluctantly, “Third Young Lady, the Madam Dowager invites you in!”
The old maidservant was also depressed. The Madam Dowager clearly did not like the Third Young Lady, so she deliberately let her wait outside the door for so long. If she had known earlier, she would not have gone in to report, which caused her to be reprimanded by the Madam Dowager. She felt wronged and upset at the thought of this, hence, she glared at Wei Yuejiao unhappily.
“Yes!”
Wei Yuejiao composed herself, calmed down, and walked in.
A maid lifted the curtain. She saw Wei Yuewu standing on the Madam Dowager’s side and talking with the Madam Dowager. The Madam Dowager also had a smile on her face. It was hard to tell that she was angry earlier. However, when the Madam Dowager saw her, she frowned grumpily.
Knowing that it was because of what she had said when she entered the courtyard, she did not dare to delay any further. She hurriedly took two steps forward and explained with a smile, “Grandmother, Jiao’er has come to see you! Just now, I saw Concubine Dong kneeling under the tree, and her face was swollen. I thought that something serious had happened, so I went forward to ask a few questions. However, I didn’t expect Sixth Younger Sister to be the first one to come in. ”
She was explaining why she came first but greeted the Madam Dowager later.
The corners of Wei Yuewu’s lips curved slightly, and her eyes fell deeply on Wei Yuejiao. In just a while, Wei Yuejiao had a big change in her attitude. Compared to Wei Yan’s stubbornness in the past, Wei Yuejiao was much harder to deal with.
Of course, this was because she had Concubine Dong as her mentor. Even if she couldn’t help it, Concubine Dong would force her to calm down.
However, since Wei Yuejiao had been tricked by her to come here today, Concubine Dong wouldn’t be able to guess what she was going to do next…
The reason why Wei Yuejiao came here at this time was naturally that she had received the news and knew that the Madam Dowager was going to punish Concubine Dong. That was why she rushed over. Wei Yuejiao knew about this because her maids had heard Wei Yuewu’s two old maidservants chat about it and reported it to her.
Whereas she came here in a hurry, Wei Yuewu had come prepared.
The biggest difference was the snow pear dessert that Wei Yuewu gave to the Madam Dowager.
The snow pear was still steaming, and the whole room immediately had a faint sweet aroma, which was very good to smell!
“Grandmother, try it again. Please don’t lie to me. If it is not delicious, I will cook it more carefully next time!” Wei Yuewu pleaded.
“Yuewu, you did a good job. I didn’t know that you’re so good at making this!” The Madam Dowager beamed with a smile. She scooped another spoonful, put it in her mouth, and nodded. “It’s tasty! How did you learn to make this?”
“In the past, when I was in my maternal parents’ home, my granny was old and liked to make some soft food, so I learned to make some, but I don’t know much.” Wei Yuewu said with a smile.
“Oh, your granny liked to eat these too?” The Madam Dowager was excited and asked with a smile.
“Yes, so I learned how to make these, but I didn’t personally make them for my granny. I only watched my cousins make them from the side and securely learned how to make them, thinking that one day, I could come back and make some for you, Grandmother.” Wei Yuewu walked over and personally scooped up a spoonful of snow pear dessert and handed it to the Madam Dowager.
The Madam Dowager took a bite and grinned from ear to ear. She loved to hear Wei Yuewu’s words. It meant that even though her maternal grandmother had raised her up, she still felt that she was closer to her.
Therefore, her cousins made the dessert for her maternal grandmother, whereas Wei Yuewu personally made the dessert for her.
“Yuewu, you’re such a good girl. It’s been hard for you all these years! We should have brought you back long ago, but your father couldn’t take you to the border, and I couldn’t raise you personally because of my poor health.” The Madam Dowager sipped the sweet soup and sighed.
Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart at the Madam Dowager’s explanation, but she did not show it on her face. She glanced at Wei Yuejiao, who was obviously ignored by her and the Madam Dowager. The corner of her lips silently curved into a sneer. She turned her head and looked at Wei Yuejiao with a bit of provocation. Then, she raised the teacup in her hand in front of Wei Yuejiao.
She was obviously provoking her.
Such an obvious provocation irritated Wei Yuejiao instantly. Her eyes were burned with fury, and her face turned red with rage.
She had always been the only one who had been praised by the Madam Dowager. When had it been Wei Yuewu’s turn to step on her?
Of course, it was too late to make soup for Grandmother now. However, at this time, she knew better than anyone that she should put in some good words. This was what Wei Yuejiao thought in her heart, and she did it.
“Grandmother, later on, I will also make soup for you. When I was at the border, I made a tonic soup for Father. Father said it was very delicious. In a while, I will take it in for you to have a taste!”
As she spoke, Wei Yuejiao walked over, wanting to snuggle up with the Madam Dowager as a part to settle the previous matter. However, Wei Yuewu was blocking her way and did not have the slightest intention of giving way to her. Previously, she clearly saw that Wei Yuewu was not in this position. It was evident that Wei Yuewu deliberately blocked her path, not letting her go forward to get close to the Madam Dowager.
Outside the courtyard, Concubine Dong was still kneeling. The wind was blowing wildly, and her face was swollen. At this point, Wei Yuejiao was not only angry but also anxious.
“You made soup for your father?” The Madam Dowager looked at Wei Yuejiao in disbelief.
The reason why the Madam Dowager did not believe it was that Wei Yuejiao had never made soup for her in the mansion. In the past, when Wei Yuejiao returned to the mansion, she had always been arrogant and proud. Because there was no one to confront her, Wei Yuejiao’s arrogant personality was not obvious. Compared with Wei Yan who was even worse, Wei Yuejiao seemed more appropriate and generous.
Of course, the Madam Dowager doted on her a lot.
Since the Madam Dowager had already doted on her, Wei Yuejiao did not have to do anything extra to curry favor with the Madam Dowager. In any case, even if she did not curry favor with the Madam Dowager, the Madam Dowager had treated her very well. She gave in to her in everything and treated her better than she treated the other legitimate daughters. Wei Yuejiao was very satisfied.
However, she must do something different now. The situation at hand seemed to have turned upside down. This made Wei Yuejiao deeply understand that if she did not do anything, she would definitely not be able to cheer the Madam Dowager up and beg her to let Concubine Dong go!
Therefore, she must curry favor with the Madam Dowager first. However, Wei Yuewu not only interrupted her but also blocked her way. In addition, with the Madam Dowager’s distrustful gaze, Wei Yuejiao felt her heart twitch in exasperation.
She tried her best to put on a smile on her face. “Grandmother, of course, I’ve made soup before. I’m just worried that you might not like it!”
She said it in a tender voice, but her hand slammed hard against Wei Yuewu’s body in an attempt to knock her away.
However, she heard an “ouch”, followed by a loud crashing sound. Everyone was stunned for a moment…
